Hi, my name is Thomas, and this is my biggest project I’ve started so far. This is just a fun, one-off scene/skit thing that I made up from my own head. Any similarities to anything else already created is coincidental. My references for this project are Diablo 3, DnD, and other various Fantasy Roleplay stories. All of this is coming out of my own pocket, and I’d like to find people who can help me bring this fun little project to life! There is no NSFW content in this project right now or planned. It's more like the opening scene of a Diablo video game.


WORLD/SCENE:

Four of the five nations that make up the continent of KYRAH (LION, BEAR, SNAKE, and EAGLE) have been at war with each other for the past 7 years. They accuse each other of smuggling, arms racing, spying, and other such things that could be seen as dishonest and against their nation's customs. The GOAT nation is the only one that shares a border with all nations, and has always proclaimed themselves as a true neutral nation. As the nation war progressed throughout the years, there have been reports of the nations trying to use the GOAT trade routes and border to gain advantage over their enemies. This has caused strife and strain on the GOAT Nation, its people, and economy. Today, the GOAT ambassador has gathered all of the nation's heads to the NATIONAL DIAMOND HALL. A massive and beautifully designed building located on a sliver of land that joins all national borders together. It was created and used for all neighboring nations to gather and discuss important matters that involved international well-being. 

The GOAT ambassador, Tien Gazah, is here to convince the nation’s leaders to stop their campaigns and war. Since they are still blinded by their greed, misunderstandings, distrust, and miscommunications, the GOAT nation is forced to join/end the war by force.

Latest Updates

  • Art Roles Closed

    Thank you all so very much for auditioning for the various art and animation roles! At this time, I will be reviewing all of the submissions and will reach out to people individually for further inquiry. Thank you again!
  • SCRATCH THAT LAST UPDATE!

    I have found my voice actors for all parts! After going back through the auditions, I already had what I was looking for! I do apologize for that last update. Thank you all for your auditions and time! I hope you'll stay tuned, for there may be another opportunity in the future!
  • CHARACTER CHANGES and REOPEN AUDITIONS

    Thank you all so much for showing interest in my little DnD teaser animation project! After listening to over 500 auditions (here and email) I've narrowed down a shortlist for Bear (Povla), Lion (Raymond), and Goat (Tien). I will be deciding and casting those 3 roles between now and May 6th! I've decided to change the Snake (Seri) role to be strictly female, and have more of a villainous air and speech pattern about her. Similar to Scar from the Lion King. I'll update the audition role on this call page to reflect these changes. I've also decided to change the Eagle (Davin) role to be strictly female. Voice age range could be anywhere between 10 and 20. I'd like to try hearing the character as fun and curious. Similar to Filo from Rising of the Shield Hero. She is a proper "princess" when she's not stuffing her face at the desert table. These changes will be updated in the character roles below. Auditions for Davin and Seri will be accepted from now until the end of May! Good luck and HAVE. FUN!
  • CLOSED!

    Thank you all so very much for auditioning for my little project! I honestly didn't think there would be this many auditions to go through. That said, I will be spending no more than 2 weeks going through auditions, prepping the script and lines, and a discord server for the project. I will reach out to you individually once you've been cast for a role. Thank you all again so much! Keep having FUN with your auditions!

Has the bipedal form of a male lion-humanoid of 10 feet tall, 800 pounds, with a coat that gleamed with the radiance of the sun. His title of "Lord Firemane" came from his ability to ignite his thick, luxurious mane in a nimbus of amber and golden fire. He could sprout the wings of a gigantic eagle at will. Radiates a powerful, yet gentle presence. Possesses a majesty and charisma that is overwhelming at times, yet even the smallest of animals that approach him in good faith feel comfortable around him.

Personality: Lord Firemane led his faithful along a noble path without force or coercion. He genuinely wanted his pride and people to willingly choose benevolent and good actions over the alternatives by their own accord. He is a being of virtue, who would never take the rear in command or ask another to take an action that he himself would not, including the sacrifice of their own life.

Wants: Justice for terrible things their neighboring nations have done to them. For the war and fighting to stop. To protect their people and nation from attacks. Peace.

  • Line 1: <Commanding, agitated. Speaking on stage to a very large audience.>

    Grrr SILENCE! You all are behaving dishonorably!

  • Line 2: <Not proud of this moment. Speaking on stage to a friend. Seated in a chair, arms folded, eyes closed, furrowed brow>

    As honorable as it is, bloodshed will inevitably follow.

2D anime style animator. Mostly animal-humanoids.

You will be part of a 3-4 person animation team working directly with me.

General Role & Responsibilities

A 2D Animator works through a three-stage process (pre-production, production and post-production) to create a sequence.

During the pre-production stage they write the story, design characters, create a storyboard, choose a design style, and prepare the backgrounds on which the action will occur. The voice-overs are then recorded by actors based on the dialogue in the script. 

In the production stage, the animators pull together all the elements to start animating the scenes. This includes initially animating rough sketches and then refining them to line drawings; layering the scenes against the backgrounds; matching the character visuals to the recorded dialogue; and compositing to final render.

At the post-production stage Animators will do a final visual clean up, assist with mixing sound effects and music, integrating visual effects, and render all the elements together to create the finished work.
